2days after surgery and feeling good. No problems or complications. Very little pain or discomfort, thank God. Had liquid diet of hello,water,broth. All the yummy stuff! I will start stage one diet today and may even be released later today. Overall it's been a good experience so far. Hoping to get my first shower today.

ambpete - hi! How are you feeling? Moving around much? I am still very immobile with a good bit if pain from that one incision. Still taking the pain meds on the regular or it's torture. Only able to walk my upstairs hallway a few laps a day.

Hi Angel! Overall I am feeling very good as far a the surgery went. No pain and just trying to g et on this schedule for stage 1 food. The only major problem I have is severe knee pain. It was so bad yesterday I went to the emergency room, as I was afraid of blood cloths. Very swollen and painful. Go news, no clots, Just a bad case of arthritis. I have been off those pain meds for my knee for 2 weeks and the pain finally kicked in yesterday. I just have to handle it till my meds come back.

Just hang in there and it will get better. Time is on our side in our journey! Please keep me posted and I hope you start feeling better soon,

So sorry to hear if the problems with your knees. Very good news that it wasn't blood clots! I'm trying to get organized with the meds and foods too. Discovered yesterday that milk (cow) is probably not going to be my friend. Lol I'm tolerating soy milk very well though. But all the meds and supplements are a bit overwhelming to get timed correctly. Nexium, Colace, multivitamin, citrical, b12 and pain meds. Phew! Feel like I'm running my own personal pharmacy. Lol!

Updates for us two week out people? I am doing well, some little issue with wound care but that is coming along. Thrush is subsiding. Constipation is the issue of the day, any ideas how to remedy this? Down 27 lbs!
